Once a beautiful Miss America married Mr Right
Had a little baby girl born on a stormy night
But that was once upon a time
now it's a brand new world
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl
Somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' new
There's a break in the chain
a skip in the clock
Girl
that's where I'm gonna find you
Between the boy I was before and what I'm gonna be
There's a clash on the border
a flame in the sky
Girl
that's where you're gonna find me
Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent
baby
it's a brand new world
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future with a modern girl
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
Gimme the future
gimme the future
Oh
laughin'
While the road maps blow away
Gimme the future with a modern girl
We're the son and the daughter
And we ain't afraid
Gimme the future
gimme the future
Won't be makin' the mistakes
Our fathers made
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future
gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future

Gimme the future with a modern girl
